(x-1)*(4x+2)>0 inequation

Given the inequality:
$$\left(x - 1\right) \left(4 x + 2\right) > 0$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\left(x - 1\right) \left(4 x + 2\right) = 0$$
Solve:
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(x - 1\right) \left(4 x + 2\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$4 x^{2} - 2 x - 2 = 0$$
This equation is of the form

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 4$$
$$b = -2$$
$$c = -2$$
, then

D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-2)^2 - 4 * (4) * (-2) = 36

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.

x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x_{1} = 1$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
This roots
$$x_{2} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x_{1} = 1$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{2}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{2} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{2} + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{3}{5}$$
substitute to the expression
$$\left(x - 1\right) \left(4 x + 2\right) > 0$$
$$\left(-1 + - \frac{3}{5}\right) \left(\frac{\left(-3\right) 4}{5} + 2\right) > 0$$

Other solutions will get with the changeover to the next point
etc.
The answer:
$$x < - \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x > 1$$
